XCOM is the big winner this week with both XCOM: Enemy Unknown and XCOM 2 making the list

War Thunder

Rainbow Six Siege

XCOM: Enemy Unknown

XCOM 2

Marvel Heroes

Mass Effect

Arizona Rose and the Pharaohs' Riddles

Everyday Genius: SquareLogic

Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway

Paint it Back

War Thunder retains its lead in first place but Rainbow Six Siege has returned to second place on the list up from third place last week. Marvel Heroes has dropped to 5th place, down from 4th place last week although Mass Effect has gone up to 6th place up from 7th place last week. Arizona Rose and the Pharaohs' Riddles remains on the top 10 list but has dropped to 7th place down from 6th place last week. Everyday Genius: SquareLogic makes a return to the list after a long hiatus and to finish off the list in 9th and 10th place, we have two newcomers: Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway, an oldschool WWII FPS made by the guys that did Borderlands (I think they're called Gearbox or something ;)), and Paint it Back, a picross/nonograms game (picross/nonogram games seem to feature quite frequently on this list).

The biggest winner this week actually happens to be a franchise, the XCOM franchise to be precise. Not only is XCOM: Enemy Unknown still on the list (and now in 3rd place too), but we also have its sequel XCOM 2 in 4th place (actually, XCOM 2 has probably received a lot of playtime from the general gaming public in the past few weeks considering it was included as part of the most recent Humble Monthly Bundle)! Guess the Earth really needs to be saved by aliens this week.

Anyway stay tuned for next Sunday to see if this list changes :). Are you playing any of the games on this list? How are you finding them?

As you all know, I love point 'n' click adventures; in fact, so far I've reviewed 26 point 'n' click adventures on this blog and that's not including games that are probably similar to point 'n' click adventures like The Walking Dead or visual novels. So when Fabrice Breton of Cowcat offered me a review copy of his latest point 'n' click adventure Demetrios - The BIG Cynical Adventure, it was an offer I couldn't refuse - especially considering I had it on my Steam wishlist :).

What was interesting was the fact he wanted me to review it after reading my slightly negative review of Bolt Riley, a Kickstarter-funded point 'n' click adventure in Early Access. When I asked if he was sure he wanted someone like me to review his game, his response was that "it's still better to criticize something than not talking at all&quot…

The game description states that the "fate of a conflict-torn nation" could potentially be changed by the one life you choose to take. The game also claims to have elements of The Walking Dead, Gone Home, The Last Express and To The Moon - which is a pretty big claim to make, at least with respect to The Walking Dead and To The Moon - two games I rate highly.

Its references to such esteemed games intrigued me so I decided to give it a go. Does Postmortem: one must die hold up to classic games like The Walking Dead and To The Moon? Or is it all a marketing gim…

IntroductionWhile frequenting one of my favourite forums I came across a player who was struggling to find the nearest location to purchase a Viper. Other posters did direct him to the Elite: Dangerous wiki which contains some locations but I noticed it didn't seem to have any for the region of space I'm currently exploring which happens to lie along the Federation-Empire border. Consequently, I thought it would be handy for my own sake to record where you could buy particular ships, starting in this region and I'll see where I go from here. The reason I've posted it here is that I'm hoping that it helps other Elite: Dangerous Commanders too.

I've also taken the liberty to do some extra research on the stations…
